Norwegian police has announced the arrest of François Gasana, a man sought by Rwanda for a suspected role in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

A statement released by the Norwegian criminal police (Kripos) on Wednesday, shows that the man aged in his forties was detained pending the outcome of an extradition request filed by Rwanda.

According to AFP, the Kripos confirmed that it had carried out a preliminary investigation before making the arrest, and the decision on whether to extradite the individual would be a matter for a judge.

Gasana,40, was arrested on Tuesday.
